In addition to Our Souls at Night, Fonda has also been the 81-year-old actor's love interest in The Chase (1966), Barefoot in the Park (1967) and The Electric Horseman (1979). The two also appeared in Tall Story in 1966, with Redford having an uncredited role.

"The only problem with working with Bob is I kind of look into his eyes and I kind of fall into his eyes and forget my dialogue," Fonda quipped. "I realize that I've grown up because in the three previous movies, I was always in love with him. I fell in love with him every time."

In another appearance on DeGeneres' daytime talk show, Fonda was quite candid about her sexual history, and told tales about making out with a man half her age and hooking up with someone in a bathroom at a party.
